Xqulth: Ella all. I is back! Forgot the "wind down" section, srry. Reiley, do you know where my dear muse is?

Reiley: Dusty? No not exactly…probably running from you, to think of it.

X: *looks around* Dusty?? Well we'll look for him while ya'll read the chapter. Oh and thank you to you all who pointed out to me that it's Mortimer not Mortimore. Thank you. I own nothing because if I did own Dustfinger you would never see him again.

Reiley: And you wonder why you can't find him.

After sitting in a car of perpetual silence I thought I would go insane…until Meggie had to say something.

"You know, it doesn't look that bad."

"That's because you're looking to the right. It's worse on the left."

We both looked to the left and shuddered. It did look darker. When we came to a stop I looked up and saw the one face I never wanted to see again. Basta.

"Welcome back dove." He said to me. I glared daggers back punched him as hard as I could while still sitting in the car.

"Don't call me dove, asshole."

"Reiley! Language!" But I only heard my name as I was ripped out the car by the window. I heard a commotion as Meggie, Dustfinger and Aunt Elinore got out of the car. Feeling two sturdy hands pick me I turned around to see Dustfinger behind me with concern on his face. I nodded my thank you and turned back to Basta.

"Where's my father?" I demanded.

"Where do you think he is dove?"

I lunged at him but Dustfinger grabbed me around the waist before I could get at him. Struggling against Dusty I managed to coax some fire at him and laughed as he back up warily. I heard Dustfinger's "oww" as I hit his knee causing him to drop me.

"What's the matter Basta? Afraid of fire?" I saw Basta make a gesture with his hand as we were restrained and marched up to Capricorn's church.

Now the fun starts.

Xqulth: Sorry for the short chapter but I wanted the next chapter to be a separate one.

Reiley : Uh-hu…can I beat Basta up then?

X: Maybe next chapter Rei-Rei. Anywho, review my peeps.
